is this really the state of counter-M$ humour? It's generally quite bad at the best of times, but that's so so poor...

I'm sorry to tell you, but I'm afraid you're crazy.. LOL!

Everything posted on BBspot is BS. In fact, the site might as well be called "BS Spot".

Take this article for example, where Office XP apparently now cures cancer.

http://www.bbspot.com/news/2000/12/ms_cancer.html

Frankly I think this site should be closed down, or at least show some nice PROMINENT disclaimer that explains to the reader that the site articles are bogus. Too many people easily led astray by this stuff.

Duh, you'll note that I said PROMINENT.

And if that tiny little disclaimer were prominent enough, we wouldn't be having this discussion.
